Amazing Grace is a Kellogg's Rice Krispies Box


Kellogg's Rice Krispies is a popular breakfast cereal made from toasted rice, first introduced in 1928 by the Kellogg's in Battle Creek. The cereal was developed by food chemist Mildred Day, who discovered that cooked rice formed crisp, puffed grains when toasted. Originally marketed as “Rice Bubbles” in some countries, Rice Krispies became famous for the “Snap! Crackle! Pop!” sound the cereal makes when milk is added, a feature that became central to its advertising in the 1930s. During World War II, production briefly paused due to rice shortages, but the cereal returned after the war and grew into one of Kellogg’s most iconic brands, later inspiring popular treats like Rice Krispies squares.

Amazing Grace is a PEZ Dispenser


The PEZ dispenser originated in Vienna, Austria in 1927, when confectioner Eduard Haas III created PEZ as a compressed peppermint candy aimed at adults as a breath freshener and a smoking alternative. The name “PEZ” comes from the German word PfeffErminZ (peppermint), taking the first, middle, and last letters. The original dispensers, introduced in 1948, were simple, lighter-shaped containers reflecting the product’s anti-smoking marketing. In the 1950s, as PEZ expanded to the United States, the company transformed the dispenser by adding character heads to attract children, beginning with Santa Claus and later featuring popular figures from movies, cartoons, and comic strips. This shift turned the PEZ dispenser into both a candy holder and a collectible toy, helping it become a global pop culture icon.

Amazing Grace is a Dr. Pepper Can


Dr Pepper is a carbonated soft drink that was first created in 1885 by pharmacist Charles Alderton in Waco, making it one of the oldest major soft drinks in the United States. Alderton developed the drink at Morrison’s Old Corner Drug Store, where he experimented with different fruit syrups to create a unique flavor blend that customers quickly grew to love. The beverage was later named by the store’s owner, Wade Morrison, reportedly in honor of a physician named Dr. Charles T. Pepper, though the exact reason for the name remains debated. Dr Pepper was first nationally introduced at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair and eventually became known for its distinct taste made from a proprietary blend of 23 flavors. Today, it is produced and distributed by Keurig Dr Pepper and remains a popular soft drink world.

Amazing Grace is a Mountain Dew Can


Mountain Dew is a citrus-flavored soft drink that originated in 1940 in Knoxville, created by beverage bottlers Barney Hartman and Ally Hartman. The name “Mountain Dew” was originally a slang term in the Appalachian region for homemade whiskey, and the first version of the drink was developed as a mixer for spirits. In 1964, the brand was acquired by PepsiCo, which reformulated and marketed it nationwide as a bold, high-caffeine citrus soda. Over the decades, Mountain Dew became known for its bright green color, energetic branding, and strong association with youth culture, extreme sports, and gaming, evolving into one of PepsiCo’s most popular global soft drink brands.

Amazing Grace is the Mount Rushmore


Mount Rushmore is a monumental granite sculpture carved into the Black Hills of South Dakota, featuring the 60-foot faces of four U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. The idea for Mount Rushmore originated in the early 1920s with historian Doane Robinson, who wanted to promote tourism in South Dakota by creating a grand sculpture of famous American figures. Sculptor Gutzon Borglum was commissioned for the project, bringing his vision of celebrating the nation's history and ideals. Construction began in 1927 and continued until 1941, employing hundreds of workers who used dynamite and fine chiseling to bring the presidents’ faces to life. Today, Mount Rushmore stands as both an iconic symbol of American heritage and a testament to human ingenuity in monumental art.

Amazing Grace is a Hershey's Chocolate Bar



The Hershey's Chocolate Bar traces its origins to 1900, when it was first mass-produced by Milton S. Hershey in Hershey. After successfully launching caramel candies through the Lancaster Caramel Company, Hershey sold his caramel business to focus on chocolate production, inspired by chocolate-making machinery he saw at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. He aimed to create an affordable milk chocolate bar for everyday Americans, which was innovative at a time when chocolate was often considered a luxury. The result was a smooth, slightly tangy milk chocolate bar wrapped in its now-iconic brown-and-silver packaging. Over the decades, the Hershey’s Chocolate Bar became one of the most recognizable sweets in the United States and helped establish the The Hershey Company as a global leader in the confectionery industry.

Amazing Grace is a Yoyo


The yo-yo is a classic toy consisting of two discs connected by an axle and a string, designed to spin up and down along the string through controlled hand movements. While similar spinning toys existed in ancient civilizations such as Greece, the modern yo-yo is widely believed to have originated in the Philippines, where it was known as a traditional toy long before becoming popular worldwide. The toy gained international fame in the 1920s when Filipino immigrant Pedro Flores began manufacturing and marketing yo-yos in the United States. Soon after, American businessman Donald F. Duncan purchased Flores’ company and helped turn the yo-yo into a global craze through competitions and mass production. Since then, the yo-yo has evolved into a skill-based toy used in performances and international contests, blending history, culture, and creativity into one simple spinning design.

Amazing Grace is a Jack 'n Jill Chippy


Jack 'n Jill Chippy is a popular corn chip snack in the Philippines known for its light, crunchy texture and savory barbecue flavor. It is produced by Universal Robina Corporation (URC), one of the country’s leading snack manufacturers, under the Jack ‘n Jill brand. Introduced in the late 20th century as part of URC’s expanding snack line, Chippy was created to offer an affordable, locally made alternative to imported corn chips. Made primarily from corn grits and seasoned with a distinctive sweet-and-salty barbecue powder, it quickly became a favorite among Filipino students and families. Over the years, Chippy has remained a staple in sari-sari stores and supermarkets nationwide, recognized for its bold flavor and iconic red packaging.

Amazing Grace is a White T-shirt


The T-shirt originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as an undergarment worn by workers and members of the U.S. Navy, who valued its lightweight cotton fabric and easy-to-wear pullover design. Its name comes from its simple “T” shape formed by the body and sleeves. After World War II, returning soldiers continued wearing T-shirts casually, helping popularize them as everyday clothing. The garment gained even more attention in the 1950s when actors like Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire and James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause wore plain white T-shirts on screen, turning the once-basic undergarment into a symbol of youth culture and rebellion. Over time, T-shirts evolved into a global fashion staple used for self-expression, branding, and artistic design.

Ketchup McDonald’s SM Pampanga (February 2026)



Around February 2026, the topic of a McDonald’s ketchup packet at McDonald’s often refers to how sauce condiments like ketchup are handled by McDonald’s restaurants in general rather than a specific standalone product or promotion at the mall branch, since McDonald’s outlets—including the one historically at SM City Pampanga—serve their familiar small tomato ketchup packets with fries and other menu items as a standard dipping condiment. McDonald’s ketchup packets are flavored with classic sweet-tomato taste and contain around ten calories each, pairing well with sides like fries and nuggets, and traditionally are provided free with orders although some franchises internationally have policies on limiting or charging for extras beyond the usual allocation; this approach stems from both cost control and sustainability efforts rather than being unique to any one location.
